This post hardly gives a sensible RFQ, according to its intent, so it is extremely unlikely that you will get sensible figures.

You must ask the suppliers directly...once you know what you want to do. ■

That is like walking into a car dealership and saying I want to buy a car that has 4 tires!!! And the salesman stands there waiting for the rest of the information he needs to be able to start talking to you. ■

Hello Adesito,

Belt conveyor and elevator have different area of application and sometimes they are used in combination.

1) When material is to be transported simply vertical-up, elevator is the only choice.

2) When material is to be transported mainly horizontal, conveyor is the only choice.

3) Combination of conveyor and elevator when available horizontal distance is not adequate for inclined single conveyor, in relation to the vertical lift for the material.

4) Elevator capacity range is quite small compared to belt conveyor.

5) Conveyor is far more reliable. It does not fail suddenly (shows symptom in advance).

In context of above, if you are in a position to use combination of elevator and conveyor; then as for comparison of long inclined conveyor versus short conveyor in combination with elevator, the price difference will depend upon the specific case and the option is to refer to the manufacturer of conveyor and elevator for the prices.
